It looks like Eastern Oklahoma will get the worst of it. We'll be OK here.

[luvie]

No, I didn’t. I probably should have, but at the time, it looked way to complicated. LOL!

[luvie]

I barely passed typing in high school, but did better in the secretarial college. I tried with shorthand, but just never quite got the hang of it. Sitting at a desk all day was just sooo tiresome. I did learn some stuff though. I worked for a loan company, and I was GOOD with calling people whose payments were past due. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Mooch...ALL of our military heroes.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...Gizmo sure had a busy day at Wichita Ridge yesterday; so many things to do.

You guys have a great Thursday.

[luvie]

Guess I’d better go for now. I’m sleepier than I thought I was. See ya tomorrow!

One more warm day before it cools down again. We “could” have rain. Not betting the farm on it. LOL!

[radu]

Glad you won’t catch the brunt. There were a few tornados in KS and this system hasn’t gotten good and fired up yet.
I see they have me in Threat Level 2 now for Friday. That wasn’t the case as of the 10:00 news. *sigh*

[radu]

We’re supposed to hit 80, then 70 Friday with storms.
We’ll have a couple of nights at the freezing mark or a little below early next week. Not looking forward to that!

Sleep well. I’m about to head off too. Catch ya tomorrow.

[radu]

Since you don’t want it .....

[radu]

... MINE! LOL

[radu]

... MINE! LOL

[left that other site]

Tippy and I walked two miles today! It was in the high forties so it was brisk and pleasant.

We have had some rain, so the lack of snow is not concerning. It’s not a drought...just nice weather!

[luvie]

Totally yours! WOOHOOOOOO! LOL!

[luvie]

Howdy doooo, Early Birds!
Aren't our troops simply the best?
We need to honor them every day!
Hope all y'all have a Thank-The-Troops Thursday!
It's a gorgeous day here.
(((hugs)))
